Product Description

This acclaimed drama feature casts Cathy Come Home star Carol White as a young woman whose determined efforts to escape a life of rural poverty lead to complications and worse; Oscar winner John Mills is the lonely, ageing farmer with whom she finds work, accommodation and the promise of easy money. An earthy, sympathetic adaptation of H.E. Bates' novel, Dulcima earned director Frank Nesbitt a Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 1971. This rare, much sought-after film is now presented in a brand-new transfer from the original elements.

Dulcima, a pretty girl treated as a drudge by her family, lifts herself from her environment by becoming housekeeper to Parker, a curmudgeonly widower living in drunken disarray on a neighbouring farm. When she sees the amount of money he has stashed around the place, Dulcima is happy enough to indulge his growing desire for her, and a strange, yet mutually beneficial, relationship develops. But a handsome young gamekeeper, newly arrived on a nearby estate, also catches Dulcima's eye...

5.0 out of 5 starsALL TIME BRITISH GREAT
By ALBERT THOMPSON on 14 Aug. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This all time British classic, is a film I have been trying to buy for years, but only managed to do so, a few weeks ago. I first saw this fantastic film on TV in the late 70's and was immediately captivated by it, from the beautiful West Country locations, accents and it's wonderful storyline. To this day, I love all things West Country and most years, my family take our summer holidays in the south west of England.

For those who are fans of, or are familiar with the works of Thomas Hardy, this (in my opinion), is a Hardyesque type story set in the late 1960's. It starts with that great actress Carol White (Dulcima) walking past Sir John Mills' (Mr Parker ) farm, where he drunkingly drives past her, and crashes his landrover. Upon helping him, see spies loads of old blue fivers scattered around the farmyard, and next day, volunteers to help come and clean up his farmhouse, which is in total disaray and squalor. Dulcima eventually moves in as Mr Parker's housekeeper, cleaning and cooking for him and providing "little extras". Having discovered that Mr Parker has wads of cash hidden aound the house, Dulcima plays around with his feelings of jealousy, and teasing him, whether she will commit to him or not, by forever mentioning her young man, "Albert". I will not spoil what follows, but only to say, this is the most under-rated British films of all time, with two stellar performances from the late, great Sir John Mills and the very talented Carol White, both getting that wonderful West Country accent down to a t.

I cannot recommend this first class British classic enough. It has absolutely everything from glorious scenes from the south west English countryside to outstanding performances, gem of a storyline and even bits of humour, my favourite line being from Dulcima - "ooh naughty Mr Parker!". Watch this film and you will see what I mean.

5.0 out of 5 starsDulcima 1971, a beautiful window into the 1950s
By R. C. Meade on 31 May 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a long overdue release of this wonderful film to DVD, John Mills & Carol White (poor cow etc) make a great job of this H E Bates story of a lonely old cranky farmer - with "Tins" of blue £5 notes in the loft & the young sexy girl who moves in with him - & finds "Mr Parker" & his tins very interesting! But there is always "Albert" to complicate matters. Filmed in South Gloucestershire, including old long gone Tetbury livestock market, Minchinhampton & the farm near Dursley - this film is perfect.

I believe the release was delayed by Carol White dying at the young age of 49 intestate.

5.0 out of 5 starsI can remember watching this tender tale from one of my favourite authors H
By Arosfa on 8 Aug. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I have been looking for this film for years, and read recently about Carol white dying intestate and that only now the film was being released. I can remember watching this tender tale from one of my favourite authors H.E.Bates many years ago and got caught up in the romance of the time and the people. I was always a little bit in love with Stuart Wilson. The tale that unfolds of Dulcima going to work for grumpy miserly old Mr Parker and of a gradual evolving mutually beneficial relationship between the two is so subtle and glorious to watch. In lesser actors hands it could have become sleazy but John Mills as usual gives a nuanced performance with many layers, between pathos to comedy and Carol White always a great actress interact so well that when the much younger and decidedly more handsome "Arthur" comes on the scene secretly you route for Mr Parker to win Dulcima's affections. I won't give away the ending watch this long forgotten gem for yourselves and bask for a while in what British Cinema was like at it's best with a British cast and a British author. It's like a comforting hug, love it.

I watched this film many years ago with my mother. We both really enjoyed it. I brought my mother a copy for mothers day this year, and she was thrilled with it. Normally it is hard to buy for her,but this present was perfect. My mother loves the film,and we both love John Mills,one of the best actors to watch. I recommend this great film.
